screencast???




I am having computer troubles and it's driving me nuts, it seems like everything I have tried to do has not worked and I have to troubleshoot every step today since 8AM ARGGGGGGGGGG


So I have worked for several stretches and went as far as my frustration would allow... then I would take a break ande go do housework or work on getting the camper ready for the Bob Marshall Wilderness this weekend, then come back get a little further, get stuck again, etc etc, so here goes a try four:

Thanks for taking a look. This is my metaphor of how my brain feels after learning a new webtool that has been as challenging as this one, yet so simple after all... and a demo of how slow my computer is running, how long before I kill my laptop, will it make it through the end of this course???

I had some difficulties! MAN and this is the first, and final draft for now!

VERY COOL

    Jasper, I am about ready to try sound tomorrow. With your experience, I have more trepidation. Maybe the bike ride will be two hours instead of one.

    I am though constantly reminded about how hard it can be to learn something new. Here we are as teachers, by some definition at least fairly capable, spending hours on something. Think about how a student must feel when he or she hits something new to learn (before tomorrow) and then has four other classes of homework to do. Could this contribute to the "I just can't do science" stereotype? I am finding many of these tasks frustrating but I appreciate the widened view of what is possible.

    Comment on your powerpoint. On I think your second slide, you have four images. You talk about each one. I think this would be more effective if you made each image its own page. For one you get the better effect of a large image. Then, when you are talking about it, this is the image in your audience's minds and they aren't trying to figure out what the next image shows.
